Read this great basic article: http://www.thumperfaq.com/oil.htm

Whatever you pick, make sure it is Motorcycle Specific API SG/JASO MA.

I am a big proponent of Maxima Extra (http://www.maximausa.com/), which is an Ester based 100% synthetic. I am a biochemist by profession and have done a lot of study on different oils. I have to say that this is the best oil there is! (http://www.maximausa.com/technical/l...beNews2002.pdf)
